An RTT-Aware Virtual Machine Placement Method

An RTT-Aware Virtual Machine Placement Method

Virtualization is a key technology for mobile cloud computing (MCC) and the virtual machine (VM) is a core component of virtualization. VM provides a relatively independent running environment for different applications. Therefore, the VM placement problem focuses on how to place VMs on optimal physical machines, which ensures efficient use of resources and the quality of service, etc. Most pre...

Communication-Aware Traffic Stream Optimization for Virtual Machine Placement in Cloud Datacenters with VL2 Topology

By pervasiveness of cloud computing, a colossal amount of applications from gigantic organizations increasingly tend to rely on cloud services. These demands caused a great number of applications in form of couple of virtual machines (VMs) requests to be executed on data centers’ servers. Some of applications are as big as not possible to be processed upon a single VM. Also, there exists severa...

Availability-Aware Energy-Efficient Virtual Machine Placement Algorithm

—Availability, as a part of Service Level Agreement (SLA), is a critically important issue in cloud services, which are affected by server or network failures in datacenters. Cloud service providers seek to not only fulfill the SLA, but also simultaneously minimize their operating costs, which are dominated by the energy consumption. In order to minimize the impact of a server/switch failure o...

Cost-Aware Virtual Machine Placement in Cloud Computing Systems

Cloud service providers operate multiple geographically distributed data centers. These data centers consume huge amounts of energy, which translate into high operating costs. Interestingly, the geographical distribution of the data centers provides many opportunities for cost savings. For example, the electricity prices and outside temperatures may be widely different at the data centers. This...
